A group of UNC scientists
are celebrating after finding a
genetic link for autism.
Through a recent study,
scientists at UNCs Maness
Laboratory connected insuf-
ficient pruning of dendritic
spines to a defective form of
the gene NrCAM. Dendritic
spines receive messages from
neurons in the brain, and
the overgrowth of spines has
been shown to be a possible
cause of autism.
It might sound like a tough
concept filled with science
jargon, but Patricia Maness,
professor of biochemistry and
the leader on this project, said
it feels like a light at the end of
a long, dark tunnel after two
years of research for the scien-
tists in the Maness Lab.
The discovery is by no
means a cure for autism,
Maness said.
There are more than a
hundred genes, but they
could all fit into a similar
pathway, Maness said. So,
this is the first step.
About 45 to 50 percent
of the dendritic spines are
pruned during adolescence,
said Vishwa Mohan, first co-
author of the projects pub-
lished research.
There have been genetic
studies suggesting that
NrCAM might be a risk fac-
tor for autism, but they didnt
know what it did or how it
was involved, Maness said.
Maness said the scientists
first noticed the connection
between the gene and deficient
spine-pruning while studying
mice with limited NrCAM.
Normally, (NrCAM)
prunes. But when it doesnt
prune we get too many syn-
apses, Maness said.
Recently, there have been
two reports showing a con-
nection between too many
spinal densities and autism in
humans, Maness said.
We are working with
computer modeling people
to identify the sites of these
molecules that maybe a drug
would fit into, Maness said.
Mohan said the break-
through could lead to a pos-
sible treatment for autism.
Maybe we have a drug we
can give it to them before they
go through that adolescent
period and maybe establish
the correct excitatory neurons,
Mohan said. Because we have
plenty of time to make the
intervention if we can come up
with a drug target or anything
which can rectify this spine
density regulation it could
be an amazing breakthrough.
Junior Shubham Upadhyay
has been working with the
Maness lab for almost a year
and is currently researching
the path the initial NrCAM
defect takes to autism.
Working in the real world
instead of just soaking up
the textbook information is
very different, he said. And
actually working with some
groundbreaking research in
such a great lab is an amazing
opportunity.

The Blues Project features hometown favorites
UNC makes autism research breakthrough
By Marisa Dunn
Staff Writer
They have big shoes to fill.
For Michelle Dorrance, her
father is a national champi-
onship winning coach at UNC
and her mother founded the
Ballet School of Chapel Hill.
For Toshi Reagon, her par-
ents belonged to the Freedom
Singers, a musical group that
advocated for civil rights
beginning in the 1960s. Her
mother founded the interna-
tionally-acclaimed folk band
Sweet Honey in the Rock.
But when the two take the
stage at Memorial Hall tonight
for The Blues Project perfor-
mance, all eyes will be on them.
The Blues Project will
feature tap dance group
Dorrance Dance / New York
alongside Reagon and her
band BIGLovely. BIGLovelys
music provides rhythm for the
dancers and the dancers pro-
vide percussion for the music.
Michelle Dorrance, founder
of Dorrance Dance and one of
The Blues Projects choreogra-
phers, is a Chapel Hill native.
Her father, Anson Dorrance,
is the UNC womens soccer
coach and her mother, MLiss
Gary Dorrance, founded the
Ballet School of Chapel Hill.
Anson Dorrance said he
recalls running into then-UNC
Chancellor James Moeser
after Michelles off-Broadway
performance of STOMP at
Memorial Hall in 2008.
The Chancellor was sur-
prised to see me, he said.
I had to tell him the lead
female was my daughter.
It was this same per-
formance where Michelle
caught the eye of the Carolina
Performing Arts staff. After
The Blues Project debuted in
2013, they recruited the show
to Memorial Hall.
It was something we want-
ed to do not only because it
was a great piece of work, but
just with all her connections,
its a great fit for us, for cam-
pus and for Chapel Hill, said
Mark Nelson, a spokesman for
Carolina Performing Arts.
Gene Medler was
Dorrances tap instructor
for 10 years when she lived
in Chapel Hill. He said hes
eager to see her latest work.
Shes really pushing the
art form into the future and
its incredible and exciting to
watch, he said, referring to
Dorrances co-choreographers
Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards
and Derick K. Grant.
A lot of times choreogra-
phers have great ideas but they
dont have the dancers that can
execute them. She does.
Sumbry-Edwards previ-
ously worked as Michael
Jacksons tap instructor and
Grants work has been fea-
tured on the Fox show So
You Think You Can Dance.
Theyre like Michelle
theyre creative and theyre
dedicated and theyre the
future of tap, Medler said.
Michelle Dorrance has been
a fan of Reagon for years, but
the two officially linked up
when Reagon invited her to
perform in one of her blues
and jazz concerts. Afterward,
they decided to work together
on The Blues Project.
Joel Richardson, a spokes-
man for Carolina Performing
Arts, said he thinks the fusion
of dance and music in The
Blues Project will make for a
unique performance.
The audience will get
a kick out of the dancing
being a part of the music,
Richardson said. You wont
simply be coming to see one
or the other, youre getting
to see both perform at once,
creating one piece of perfor-
mance art.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
SSSC responsible for
funding confusion
TO THE EDITOR:
Like David Goldberg,
Id like to help Student
Congress set the record
straight on the abysmal
record of the 2013-14 safe-
ty and security committee.
(UNC Student Congress
Sets Limits on Funding,
Sept. 24)
Until Congress passed
a bill prohibiting it, SSSC
meetings took place via
email last year. No public
discussion or debate was
held regarding thousands of
dollars of student fees, just
emailed votes with no record
or paper trail whatsoever.
The SSSC held an April
15 meeting with Buzz
Rides on its agenda. Those
minutes include only the
positive comments in favor
of Buzz Rides. Members
of the committee and
those speaking in public
comment questioning
the legality of funding a
for-profit are left off of
the minutes. Not exactly
the full and complete
minutes the Student Code
requires.
At perhaps its most
famous meeting on May 6,
the SSSC, without proper
meeting notice and with-
out quorum, held one final
meeting on Buzz Rides. If
an illegal meeting wasnt
enough, nearly $15,000
was allocated to a for-profit
business when questions
continued to swirl on the
legality of the action.
Though he spoke out on
emailed votes and viola-
tions of meeting laws last
fall, SSSC Vice Chair David
Goldberg said little about
the SSSCs illegal meet-
ing on May 6 and nothing
about their incomplete
April 15 minutes.
Considering the SSSC
has very few records of
their work last year (out-
side of lawsuits and Daily
Tar Heel articles) Im happy
to provide this clarification
so Congress can truly set
the record straight.

Being
the
business
monkey
M
y first idea when
reviving the UNC
Computer Science
Club was to group idea-
makers with people who could
make those ideas happen.
This phrase should have
never gone beyond a mission
statement. As a sophomore,
I met with one of these idea
people in hopes of partnering
him up with a programmer. He
wanted to make a Facebook
app that could psychologically
analyze profiles an idea so
brilliant he would only tell me
about it over lunch. So, could I
find someone to create this?
No one would bite, it turned
out, and I shrugged him off
when he messaged me with
two more of his ventures in
a week. I approached idea
people differently afterward,
usually running in to two or
three a semester. All of them
were fully prepared to give a
programmer 15 percent equity
of a nonexistent tech company.
It has the potential to be
the next Facebook.
I need a team of dedicated
mobile app developers.
No, I wont tell you what
my idea is. Intellectual prop-
erty something something.
Tech is at the center of the
most famous startups in recent
years, and a lot of up-and-
coming entrepreneurs want to
be a part of that.
This is natural. But too
often they do not think, I will
learn how to make it, but rath-
er, I will find a code monkey.
Tech companies are not
founded by idea people. All
of the 23 Fortune 500 tech
companies founded after 1975
were founded by people with
backgrounds in engineering or
inventing those who person-
ally worked on the companys
initial tech product.
All of Business Insiders 20
Silicon Valley Startups to Look
Out For in 2011 were either
founded by coders or experi-
enced tech executives who had
enough money and clout to
make it happen. Foursquares
founder spent years seeking
a code monkey before finally
opening a book to teach himself.
Coding is an exponential
learning process, and the atmo-
sphere of intimidation that sur-
rounds it is a problem. Its hard,
but this is being countered with
efforts to make coding acces-
sible. Nationally, theres Udacity
and Codecademy, among
others, and UNCs computer
science department is build-
ing many support systems for
beginners. The ideal attitude is
to openly welcome those who
want to learn.
On the other hand, if youre
trying to make a tech startup
from your dorm room, and
you wont learn to code, thats
an iron door. Kenan-Flagler
students might have pet anec-
dotes against this something
they saw at some startup event,
a feel-good blog somewhere
on the Internet but tech
companies are made by cod-
ers, not businessmen. Coders
are the thought leaders behind
the origins of these companies,
not MBAs. Businessmen are
needed to sustain a company
later, but a techie does not
need a business co-founder. As
one guy on the internet put it,
They are not the code monkey.
You are the biz monkey.
Am I saying you shouldnt
think of creative tech ideas? No,
but make your ideas happen
yourself.

Coalition built a campaign
and galvanized a network
of students, faculty and
staff to encourage the
UNC-system to divest its
endowment from coal.
They were at first met
with resistance from
administrators and execu-
tives at UNC Management
Company. Some members
of the Board of Trustees
thought completely
divesting from coal would
leave the portfolio vulner-
able. The Student Sierra
Coalition has spent years
fighting administrators to
make the change anyway.
In an interview with
The Daily Tar Heel, Tait
Chandler, a senior and
a member of the of the
Student Sierra Coalition
since 2011, said that until
today, Weve had very few
tangible results from the
administrators. This is the
first time that weve been
able to collaboratively
come to a decision and
pass something. Its actu-
ally in the flesh.
Despite his impend-
ing graduation, Chandler
said hes committed to
strengthening the group
for future encounters with
the Board of Trustees.
Unfortunately, the com-
mittee appears to remain
hesitant to consider
divestment as a viable
action. One board mem-
ber expressed his opti-
mism for the approach the
Sierra Student Coalition
took with its most recent
request, making it clear
the committee preferred
the compromise to invest
in clean energy. This is
not optimal for the Sierra
Student Coalition, which
should keep an eye on
reopening discussions of
divestment.
UNC has long been a
leader in sending power-
ful messages through the
companies it invests in.
In the 1980s, student-
led protests called on
UNC to stop investing in
companies operating and
doing business in South
Africa in response to
apartheid. Those protests
in which students set
up shantytowns in Polk
Place in solidarity with the
conditions endured by the
black population in South
Africa culminated in
the University divesting
from those companies.
During the commit-
tee meeting, Chancellor
Carol Folt told the student
presenters they demon-
strated maturity because
of their apparent willing-
ness to compromise. Folt
and the rest of the Board
of Trustees should under-
stand that the fight for the
University to divest is far
from over. Seventy-seven
percent of students voted
yes to a referendum call-
ing for the University to
divest in March 2013. That
number cant be ignored.
The Board of Trustees
commitments can only
succeed if they are held
accountable by the agents
of change for a period
longer than a typical stu-
dents stay at UNC. As the
Sierra Student Coalition
moves forward, it must
keep this goal in mind.
It must remain resolute
in its mission to divest
from a form of energy
that should be left in the
ground and history books.
The Sierra Student
Coalition secured a
minor victory.

More technology isnt
the answer
TO THE EDITOR:
In the Sept. 11 letter
More discussion on frack-
ing needed, Robert George
wrote What we need
is not revolution or rebel-
lion but a prudent Energy
Reformation. He then goes
on to explain that solar and
wind energy is the answer
to our energy problems.
Dr. George is wrong. We
do need a revolution. We
need to ask ourselves what
the root of fracking and
the Atlantic Coast pipe-
line is and without very
long consideration we will
plainly see that the root is
our societys technological
values.
Technological society is
defined as one that values
efficiency, artificiality,
and rationality. Since the
Industrial Revolution,
the world has been domi-
nated by a technological
way of life, and as a result
modern man and nature
have been reduced to cogs
in one great, efficient
machine whose operators
are a small elite of techno-
crats and large organiza-
tions.
Technological values are
social values, and simply
replacing fracking with
green energy will not be
enough. In fact, green
energy will only allow our
technological society to
carry on.
No, we dont need a
reformation. If we are
to get to the root of the
problem, we are going to
need a social revolution
a radical change in the
values our society is based
on, a change to values that
respect the freedom and
dignity of wild nature and
wild ways of life.

positive hip-hop song as a
single. Who else includes
Maya Angelou references
in a pop smash? Kendrick
says he loves himself in the
songs lyrics. We do, too.
An article making the
rounds on the Internet
Thursday sug-
gested in fairly
strong terms
that non-celiac
people who
refuse to eat gluten are full
of crap. We arent scientists,
so we wont take sides.
But the one thing we are
sure of is that lunchtime in
Carrboro is gonna be tense
from here on out.
Sorry, sports gods The gluten gauntlet i is for everyone
Just as the best of the four
seasons had lured us into its
crisp embrace
and convinced
us to don our
jeans and sweat-
ers, a full day of
steady rain reminded us
that fall isnt all pumpkin
spice and crunchy leaves.
Sometimes its the feeling of
wet denim clinging to your
inner thighs and the rhyth-
mic squelching of socks.

In case you hadnt heard,
Time-Out Restaurant has
moved to the
corner of Frank-
lin and Hen-
derson streets.
People tend to
hate on Time-Out, but we
have no self respect, so we
love it. It is now among the
closest restaurants to The
Daily Tar Heels ofces. Why
must temptation be so deli-
cious? Pray for our arteries.
Biscuits ahoy!
Everyone should stay hy-
drated, and those CamelBak
water bottles
with the rubber
nipple-straw
things make it
easy. But that
doesnt make up for the
inconvenience of getting
down to the last inch of wa-
ter and having to unscrew
the lid because the straws
too short. Our forearms are
tiny and unwilling. Help.
